Chapter 187

"A Li, A Li, I'm back~" Jiu Li's voice also came in.

The one with golden brows and white hair brought by it was precisely the deity who had paid respects to Di Jin that day.

Jin Wu rose, "Tai Jin Emperor? How did you come?"

They obviously knew the other party, but not well, so they also glanced at Jiu Li.

Tai Jin Emperor slightly nodded, but their gaze passed over Jin Wu and fell on Shen Qingli.

That day, although they followed Lou Guanxue to the Vermilion Bird Divine Palace, they did not reveal their whereabouts, yet the Vermilion Bird Young Emperor before them could clearly see them all along.

Moreover, the Young Lord usually stood by her side, and she clearly bore the Young Lord's inheritor aura! All of this suggests——

Golden Crow

As for what kind of relationship it is, they dare not guess further.

Supreme Golden Emperor

Jin Wu was surprised, for the Tai Jin Emperor's status is not beneath the Empress's.

If this is merely politeness toward the Majesty, they don't think it's a big deal, but this is directed at the Young Emperor.

Young Emperor of the Vermilion Bird

Grand Supreme Star Lord

Lord of the Thick Earth Star

She wants to understand the true A Jin themselves, asking them—though they don't lie, they always skillfully avoid the most crucial information!

Golden General

Regardless of whether they have unspeakable difficulties or are deliberately concealing it from her, she has her own judgment.

Her Majesty the Empress

"Naturally." Tai Jin Emperor nodded and apologized, "Just now the Young Emperor's beast familiar directly brought me in; I rashly overheard the two of you conversing, and it was not intentional."

Divine Court

Jin Wu, meanwhile, was curious about their own Young Emperor's abilities; she seemed somewhat stronger than imagined.

So the young emperor voluntarily requested to come in place of His Majesty to take part; it's not that he's forced to come due to urgent matters, but rather he has everything under control?

Frankly, the order of Shen Ting is currently maintained by me. The young emperor may enter the inner hall at any time.

I also want to see the Houtu Star Sovereign," Shen Qingli asked again.

Tai Jin Emperor was somewhat surprised, "The Star Sovereign hasn't fully recovered yet; I'm afraid the young emperor won't be able to see her."

No problem, just being able to see her is fine," Shen Qingli explained, "I know a little about alchemy; perhaps I can help."

This..." Tai Jin Emperor wanted to say, knowing only a little alchemy, he would definitely be of no help.

But upon further thought, perhaps the young emperor had received some task from the Young Sovereign, making it inconvenient to discuss with him, hence this excuse?

So he shifted the topic, "Then does the young emperor want to go now?"

Is that okay?" Shen Qingli countered.

Tai Jin Emperor immediately rose, "Of course, please follow me."

Jin Wu naturally rose to follow, and Shen Qingtong, who had been silent, also wanted to follow.

But Tai Jin Emperor stopped him, saying, "The Star Sovereign's recovery is a matter of great importance; even I cannot bring too many people,"

Then I won't go," Shen Qingtong clearly understood that his strength was still insufficient to personally protect Shen Qingli.

Jiu Li immediately said, "A Li, hide me."

Shen Qingli hesitated a bit; she didn't stare at, Li Li...

It's fine," Tai Jin Emperor however said.

Jiu Li: "?"

Why!

Do you look down on it?

At that time, the Golden General can only guard outside the hall.

Tai Jin Emperor feared he wouldn't be able to explain clearly upon arrival, so he first stated the matters.

Good." Shen Qingli naturally had no objection, and Jin Wu could also understand.

After the great calamity, every deity's recovery is of utmost importance; all matters must be handled with caution.

Tai Jin Emperor allowing Shen Qingli to enter made even Jin Wu feel very surprised.

Moreover, he is right outside the hall, able to respond to any matter fully.

Inner court.

In the hall of the Houtu Star Sovereign.

Lou Guanxue has been invited in.

The kind-browed Grand Supreme Star Sovereign rose to greet.

Master Lou.

Grand Supreme Star Sovereign.

Master Lou, please hurry and take a look.

The Grand Supreme Star Sovereign directly led the person to the dais.

Only see the Houtu Star Sovereign shrouded in bright yellow divine radiance, her face extremely pallid, the divine seal on her forehead showing signs of disintegration.

Do you have any Soul Herb, Master Lou?" the Grand Supreme Star Sovereign said, "The Houtu Star Sovereign's soul is currently unstable; perhaps only this herb can stabilize her soul."

Soul Herb?" Lou Guanxue's face fell, "The last stalk has already been given to the Queen Mother of the West. There is no more Soul Herb in the world."

Isn't the deity already recovered? Hasn't the Soul Herb regrown?" the Grand Supreme Star Sovereign said anxiously, "The deity's divine radiance has spread throughout Shen Ting; the immortal herbs in the Dao Palace have all died and been reborn; has the Soul Herb on the peak of Kunlun Mountain not regrown?"

Of course it has grown.

But as soon as Lou Guanxue gets close, she gets bounced away.

She simply can't pick any! Already stuck……

After a while, she could only say, "Earlier I was just busy admiring the Divine Lord's origin, I didn't notice the Divine Soul Grass. Otherwise, I'll go back again."

"I'm afraid there's no time!" The Supreme Star Lord is anxious!

Although the Dao Palace has a teleportation array leading to the four directions, the four directions lack a direct return route; after transfers, it will take at least two or three days to get there.

The situation of the Lord of the Thick Earth…

The venerable supreme, also a star lord, can see that at most one day!

If the divine soul cannot be stabilized in time, this revival would be meaningless, and the Lord of the Thick Earth would completely dissipate.

"If only the Divine Lord were here." The Supreme Star Lord deeply misses the Kunlun Divine Lord; if he were present, there would be no need for any divine soul grass—his divine power could stabilize the souls of all gods.

"Venerable supreme." The voice of the Tai Jin Emperor arrived at this moment.

The venerable supreme had no mind to deal with it: "Don't make noise! I'm busy here, go elsewhere."

"You old fool, don't be ungrateful—I've brought an alchemist for you."

The Tai Jin Emperor, who pushed the door straight in, also brought Shen Qingli inside.

When Lou Guanxue turned around, she happened to see her follow in, unable to hold back: "The emperor said the alchemist—could it be the Zhu Que Nu Di, the newly ascended young emperor from the lower realm?"

The Supreme Star Lord couldn't help but look at Shen Qingli and immediately saw that she was very young.

If she weren't born in Sheng Long Tian, she would still be an infant now.

"Exactly." The Tai Jin Emperor replied.

The Supreme Star Lord immediately became anxious: "Don't joke, I really have no mind for this."

"But if this star lord cannot stabilize his divine soul in time, he will die and his dao will vanish."

Shen Qingli, speaking without nonsense, already took out the soul-nurturing pill; this pill is equivalent to Sheng Long Tian's all-system healing pill, capable of curing any injury.

So as soon as she took out the pill, the Supreme Star Lord's eyes lit up: "Is this, the empress who sent you to bring it?"

"No, I refined it myself." Shen Qingli said, overturning the storage porcelain bottle and pouring out a large handful!

She scooped out a few more: "How many do you need? Five? You don't need that many, do you?"

"No need, no need! Just try one first!" The Supreme Star Lord's voice trembled!

The last time I saw so many soul-nurturing pills was in the Kunlun Divine Lord's alchemy chamber!

"I think so too, and although the soul-nurturing pill can heal the divine soul, it's not a perfect match; I also have something else that will keep the medicine effective until Chen Ke removes it, and the Lord of the Thick Earth will wake up soon." Shen Qingli stated factually.

Lou Guanxue broke down: "Impossible! Such a thing doesn't exist in this world!"

"You're just a foot-washing maid, how would you know?" Shen Qingli retorted.

"I,"

"Shut up."

Shen Qingli, unwilling to engage in pointless argument, said, "Reviving the Lord of the Thick Earth is paramount; please, Emperor, have the miscellaneous people driven out."

"I," Lou Guanxue still wanted to argue, but there was no need for the Tai Jin Emperor to act—the venerable supreme already flicked his whisk and swept her out the door!

Just kidding, a huge handful of soul-nurturing pills!

That pile of pills is worth countless Lou Guanxues!

Besides, Lou Guanxue's act of pretending to be the Divine Lord's widow has long annoyed him!

If it weren't for needing those divine medicines in her hand, who would bother with her!

"Please, please," the venerable supreme earnestly brought Shen Qingli to the Lord of the Thick Earth's side.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Qingli was surprised, for she discovered that the Lord of the Thick Earth shares a deep connection with her!
